During WWII, Japan secretly established the notorious Unit 731 in Harbin, northeast China, which served as the command center for its biological warfare program. At least 3,000 people were subjected to human experimentation by Unit 731, while hundreds of thousands of people in China were killed or injured by Japanese biological weapons.

However, mounting evidence continues to expose the truth about its horrific crimes.
